Four-foldness of Passions : (115)
What category of living being is the bonder of a specific variety of passion while experiencing a specific variety of passion?
Similarly, what category of the living being is non-bonder of a specific variety of passion while non-experiencing a specific variety of passion?
(1)
The non-instinctive being (not endowed with mind), as a rule, binds the two positions of the intensity of creeper-like and wood-like prides.
(2)
The living being endowed with mind may bind all the four categories of pride. This binding is optional.
Similarly, one should know the bonding and non-bonding positions in all the investigation doors with reference to subsidence, fruition and existence of karmas.
The non-instinctive beings do not have the intense distressful volitions instrumental in the bonding of higher categories of pride.
